Bogaerts went 1-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored, a stolen base and a walk in Friday's win over Tampa Bay.

Bogaerts walked and stole second base in the fourth inning before capping off his night with a ninth-inning solo homer. He snapped a 13-game homerless drought and has gone deep just twice in 27 games this month. However, since returning from the injured list in July, Bogaerts has gone 50-for-152 (.329) through 40 games. He owns a .268/.311/.372 slash line with seven homers and nine steals through 87 games.

The Giants recalled Wisely from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The Giants elected to outright Thairo Estrada to Triple-A after he cleared waivers Friday, so Wisely will now come up from the minors to replenish San Francisco's infield depth. The 25-year-old has slashed .249/.285/.363 with 24 RBI across 215 plate appearances in the majors this year, though he's gone 10-for-37 with two homers and seven RBI since returning to Sacramento on Aug. 19. He could form a platoon at second base with the righty-hitting Casey Schmitt.

The Giants outrighted Estrada to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Estrada was placed on waivers Wednesday but went unclaimed. The infielder has struggled in 2024, logging a .590 OPS in 381 plate appearances with a .126 ISO. Brett Wisely was recalled from Sacramento to replace Estrada on the active roster.

Guillorme is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers.

As per usual, Guillorme will take a seat against a left-handed pitcher (Clayton Kershaw). Kevin Newman will bat eighth and play second base Friday.

Albies (wrist) has begun doing some baseball activities, including light hitting off a tee, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Albies has been on the shelf since late July after fracturing his left wrist, and he's finally been cleared to swing, albeit lightly. The second baseman will likely require a rehab assignment prior to being activated and isn't expected to join Atlanta until mid-September.

Garcia is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.

With lefty Shota Imanaga on the mound for Chicago, Garcia will give way to Ildemaro Vargas at second base. Garcia is 29-for-84 (.345) with four home runs and six stolen bases in August.

Iglesias went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's win over the Diamondbacks.

The veteran infielder came up big when it mattered, bringing home Tyrone Taylor with a single up the middle in the top of the ninth inning to break a 2-2 tie. Iglesias continues to get consistent playing time at second base while occasionally filling in at third base, and through 65 plate appearances in August he's slashing .276/.338/.328 with two steals, five runs and five RBI.

Lopez went 3-for-4 with a walk, two doubles and a run scored in Thursday's win over the Rockies.

The Marlins took advantage of their last game in Coors Field for the season with an 18-hit, 12-run barrage, and Lopez carved out his share of the production. The 25-year-old infielder has hit safely in five straight games and 12 of the last 13, slashing .362/.444/.532 over the latter stretch with six doubles, a triple, two steals, five runs and seven RBI.

Turang is absent from the lineup for the first game of Friday's doubleheader in Cincinnati.

Turang will surely be back in there for the nightcap, but he'll sit out the afternoon tilt. Andruw Monasterio will play second base and bat ninth for the Brewers in the first game.

India went 1-for-3 with a walk, two RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 10-9 win over the Athletics.

India walked with the bases loaded to deliver a run, then hit a sacrifice fly for another. He also singled and scored in the Reds' three-run bottom of the ninth as part of the team's second comeback during the game. India has hit safely in four of the last five contests but has struggled overall since the All-Star break, posting a slash line of .187/.286/.302. However, he remains Cincinnati's leadoff batter.
